Answer:

2/5

Explanation:

There are a total of 4+3+2+1=10 marbles in the bag. Since there is an equal chance of drawing any marble from the bag, the chances of drawing a red marble is equal to the number of red marbles divided by the total number of marbles.

What we're given:

  • 4 red marbles
  • 10 total marbles

Therefore, the probability of drawing a red marble is:


(4)/(10)=\boxed{(2)/(5)}
